Firefox starts on my machine with a page that is obviously trying to install a virus - the URL is: https://oquaifacefanbuy.net/4758060523348/6e6d0b1a4acfed053c03b6ea6312d77f/3786fb853682eae72492982d01484470.html the title is Critical Firefox update the button to install the "Patch" goes to: https://oquaifacefanbuy.net/4758060523348/1507828552462802/firefox-update.js is your security group doing anything to resolve this?
